AI for Treasury & Cash Management
Use AI for cash forecasting, FX and rate risk, and CFO cash memos — with the three guardrails that keep treasury fiduciary. 8 lessons, certificate.
Treasury is the one finance function where a wrong move doesn’t just misstate a number — it sends the company’s cash to the wrong place. So when the AI hype reached the treasury floor in 2026, most analysts and cash managers had the same reaction: I can see the time savings, I just can’t see how to use this without putting our liquidity, our hedges, or our bank data at risk.
This course closes that gap. It is built for the treasury professional — the analyst, the cash manager, the assistant treasurer — who is fluent in cash positioning, forecasting, FX, and working capital, but new to AI. We start with the three guardrails that keep treasury fiduciary no matter how good the tools get: AI never moves money, AI never makes the final hedging or investment call, and AI never touches your live cash data in a public tool. Everything else is built on top of those rules.
From there you ship real work. Lesson 2 gets a cash-variance memo out of pasted figures in fifteen minutes. Then we move through the treasury function the way your week actually runs: a 13-week forecast you can defend with MAPE instead of a vendor’s headline accuracy claim, daily cash positioning and exception triage that never lets AI release a payment, FX and rate scenarios you model but decide yourself, idle-cash and working-capital analysis, and the CFO and board memos AI drafts and you verify. You finish by building a forecast, a risk scenario, and a cash memo in your own company’s context — a deliverable set you can take straight to work.
What You'll Learn
- Explain the three fiduciary guardrails that keep treasury safe with AI — never move money, never make the final hedging or investment call, never expose live cash data to a public AI tool
- Use ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot to draft a treasury artifact — a cash-variance memo or a 13-week forecast skeleton — in under 20 minutes
- Apply AI to a 13-week direct-method cash-flow forecast and read its accuracy with MAPE instead of trusting a vendor's headline number
- Analyze AI-summarized bank and payment activity to triage reconciliation exceptions and fraud signals while keeping the wire in human hands
- Evaluate an AI-generated FX or interest-rate hedging scenario and an idle-cash allocation for the decision a human must still own
- Create a CFO and board-ready treasury deliverable set — forecast, risk scenario, and cash memo — in your own company's context

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the AI Finance Agents course for controllers?
That course is controllership — month-end close, GL reconciliation, statement audit, KYC, and SOX/COSO governance, all about getting the books right. This course is the treasury function — cash and liquidity, cash-flow forecasting, bank and payment operations, FX and interest-rate risk, short-term investments, and working capital. Treasury looks forward at cash timing and risk; controllership looks back at record accuracy. They pair well, but they are different jobs.
Do I need a treasury management system like Kyriba or GTreasury to take this course?
No. Every hands-on lesson is built around ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot plus Excel — tools you most likely already have. We reference TMS platforms (Kyriba, GTreasury, Trovata, HighRadius, Tesorio, Embat) so you understand the landscape, but you never need to buy one to do the exercises.
Is it safe to use AI on real treasury data?
Only inside the guardrails this course is built around. AI never moves money, never makes the final hedging or investment decision, and never sees live bank credentials, account numbers, or sensitive cash positions in a public AI tool — you use your company's sanctioned or enterprise AI and redact account numbers. Lesson 1 sets these rules and every lesson reinforces them.
How long does the course take and do I get a certificate?
About two and a half hours at your own pace, across 8 lessons of 12-22 minutes each with copy-paste prompts you can run immediately. Complete all lessons and pass the quizzes to earn a verifiable certificate.
